Wireless Modem Card and Subsystem Overview
The Cisco high-speed point-to-point broadband fixed wireless system provides a fixed, dedicated
wireless linkfrom one site to another.This link deliversfull-duplex datainthe licensed MMDS band
(2.500 to 2.690 GHz), or unlicensed U-NII band (5.725 to 5.825 GHz).
The broadbandfixed wireless system consists of aCisco uBR7200 series universalbroadband router
(Cisco uBR7246 or Cisco uBR7223) and one or more wireless modem cards (see Figure 1), each
with a power feed panel (see Figure 2), and one or two wireless transverters (see Figure 3). (The
diversity option, which minimizes the effects of fading, uses two wireless transverters, one for each
of two antennas.)

If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.
Caution Be sure to tighten the captive installation screws on the network processing engine, the
I/O controller, and the wireless modem cards (use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver). These screws
prevent accidental removal, provide proper grounding for the router, and help to ensure that the
network processing engine, I/O controller, and modem cards are properly seated in the router
midplane.
Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
• Alwaysuse an ESD-preventivewrist strapor ankle strap when installingor replacing the network
processingengine,I/O controller,port adapters, or modem cards.Ensure that the ESD-preventive
strap makes contact with your skin.
• Handle the network processing engine, I/O controller, port adapters, or modem cards by their
metal carrier edgesandhandles only; avoid touching theprintedcircuit board components or any
connector pins.
• When removing the networkprocessing engine, I/O controller, port adapters, or wireless modem
cards, place them on an antistatic surface with the printed circuit board components facing
upward, or in a static shielding bag. If you are returning an I/O controller, network processing
engine, port adapter, or modem card to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding bag.
Caution Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be
within the range of 1 to 10 megohms (Mohm).
